The housing features contact cavities each having a keying feature, mating polarization feature, a mating latch
(plug) or mating latch retainer (cap) that provides positive mating. The ribs surrounding the mating latch prevent
wires from becoming caught underneath the latch. The polarization feature prevents mating housings of
different sizes and keying configuration. The housings have a mating keying feature available in 4 configurations
(A, B, C, and D) to prevent mis-mating. The housings are also color coded for 4 available housing materials:
standard, high temperature, glow wire, and hot wire. In addition, the panel mount cap housing features panel
stops and flexible panel latches. In use, the panel latches secure the housing to a panel without the use of
mounting hardware.
Optional connector position assurance (CPA) device and terminal position assurance (TPA) device (also called
locking plate) are available to install onto the housing. These devices provide added security to ensure that the
mated housings remain together and ensure proper contact insertion and retention in the circuit cavities. The
CPA device prevents the plug housing mating latch from being accidentally depressed.
Each contact features a wire barrel, insulation barrel, contact stabilizer, and center key (plug) or side keys (tab).
The underside at the mating end of the contact has a latch opening that engages the housing contact cavity
latch and secures the contact to the housing. The key(s) only allow the contact to be inserted into the
associated housing.

Strip Length
Figure 2
3.3. Contact Crimp
A. Cutoff Tab and Burr
The cutoff tab is the remaining portion of the carrier strip after the contact is cut from the strip, and the
burr is the result from the cutoff tab shearing. The cutoff tab and burr must not exceed the dimension
given in Figure 3.
B. Wire Barrel Crimp
The crimp applied to the wire barrel portion of the contact is the most compressed area and is most critical
in ensuring optimum electrical and mechanical performance of the crimped contact. The crimp must be
centered on the closed wire barrel. The crimp must result in an “F” crimp where the wire barrel forms a
closed seam with no evidence of loose wire strands or wire strands visible in the seam. The crimp height
and width must be within the dimensions provided in Figure 3.
C. Insulation Barrel Crimp
The crimp applied to the insulation barrel of the contact must result in either an “F” crimp where the
insulation barrel forms a closed seam with no evidence of wire insulation in the seam or an overlap crimp
where the tips of the insulation barrel wraps overlap each other and wrap firmly around the wire insulation
without cutting into the wire insulation. The crimp height and width must be within the dimensions provided
in Figure 3.

B. Extraction
If the optional TPA device is used, the contacts cannot be removed until the TPA is removed from the
housing. Contacts must be removed individually from the housing using the extraction tool given in
Paragraph 5.4 and the instructions for removing a contact given in 408-32206. After extraction, the
contact must be inspected for damage or deformation; if evident, the contact must be replaced.
NOTE
If the contact has been pushed or pulled out of the housing, the rework procedure given in 408-32206 must be followed.
3.6. Optional TPA and CPA Devices
An optional TPA device is available for the plug housing and cap housing, and an optional CPA device is
available for the cap housing.
The following requirements apply for installation (refer to Figure 6):
NOTE
All contacts must be inserted before the devices can be installed into the housing.
— The CPA device must be fully inserted into the opening at the top of the wire end of the plug housing
until the latch engages the plug housing. There should be an audible click. After installation, the tips of the
legs must be visible at the top of the mating face of the plug housing.
— The TPA device must be installed onto the wire end of the housing so that the latches are secure to the
housing TPA locking tabs. There should be an audible click. If the latches do not reach the locking tabs,
this indicates that one or more contacts has not been fully inserted or the contact internal latch has not
locked onto the circuit cavity.
The following requirements apply for removal (refer to Figure 6):
— The CPA device must be removed by depressing the tips of the legs, and sliding the CPA device out of
the housing.
— The TPA device must be removed by lifting each latch so that it clears the housing TPA locking tab,
and pulling the TPA device straight from the housing.
3.7. Continuity Testing
For continuity testing of the housing, design guidelines for the test fixture and pogo pin (probe) must be
considered (refer to Paragraphs 2.3 and 2.4); otherwise damage to the contacts may occur.
All contacts must be inserted and locked into the housing prior to placing the housing into the test fixture.
To avoid deformation to the contact, it is extremely important to ensure specific probe location. See Figure 8.

3.8. Panel Mounting
Recommended panel cutout dimensions are provided on the customer drawing for the specific cap housing.
The cap housing must be inserted through the panel in the same direction that the cutout was punched until the
panel stops sit against the panel so that the flexible panel latches engage the panel. No hardware is required.
See Figure 9.
To remove the cap housing from the panel, both latches must be simultaneously depressed, then the cap
housing must be gently pulled straight out of the panel. If there is no damage to the cap housing, the cap
housing can be re-mounted.

3.9. Mating and Unmating
The mating face of the cap housing must align with the mating face of the plug housing, then the housing must
be pushed together until the mating latch is secured to the latch retainer. There should be an audible click.
Refer to Figure 6.
To unmate the housings, if used, the CPA device must be withdrawn (but not removed). The plug housing
mating latch must be depressed until it is released from the latch retainer, then the housings can be pulled
straight apart.
CAUTION
These housings are not intended to be used as an electrical interruption device. To avoid degradation to the contacts, there
must be no current flow when unmating.
3.10. Strain Relief and Wire Dress
Wires can be bundled together and supported using cable ties or electrical tape. The wires must remain
perpendicular to the housing and avoid an excessively sharp bend radius. The wire bundle must be at least 76
[3.0] from the back of the housing before bending in any direction. Do not bend unsupported wires as this may
cause strain on the contacts.
3.11. Replacement and Repair
Damaged or defective product must not be used. The housings, contacts, CPA device, and TPA device are not
repairable.
A contact can be removed using the extraction tool given in Paragraph 5.4. The contact can be re-inserted into
the housing provided there has been no deformation or damage to the contact latch opening or housing
internal latch. Refer to Paragraph 3.5.B for contact extraction and insertion information. If the contact has been
pushed or pulled out of the housing, the rework procedure given in 408-32206 must be followed.
